Instagram 2.5 Launched For iPhone, Brings Several Tweaks

Instagram 2.5 has been released for the iPhone bringing numerous tweaks that includes a revamped profile tab, search for users and tags, improved commenting, and much more.  The app got its first major overhaul since its acquisition by Facebook for more than USD 1 billion back in April. However, those updates do not change its core functionality.

• Search for users and tags in the Explore tab Improvements to commenting
• User search auto completes based on people you follow
